History

 

Subject was incorporated in 1947 as Indian Schering as subsidiary of British Schering, UK. In 1957, E Griffith Hughes, of which British Schering was a subsidiary, was taken over by Aspro-Nicholas, UK. The management of the company was acquired by Piramal Enterprises in 1988. 


Subject is a major player in formulations, diagnostics and vitamins in the Indian pharma industry, besides having good export presence. The company is strong in marketing and has many alliances with MNCs to sell their products. It is now also giving more emphasis on R and D. Hence, one can expect sustained healthy growth in the medium-to-long term. 

 
The company has a portfolio of around 160 brands. Recently, it purchased two brands from Hoechst - Omnatax (cefataxim) and Zidime (ceftazidime). Allergan India Limited is 51:49 joint venture company between Allergan Inc., USA and Nicholas Piramal. Further the company has another joint venture company, Boots Piramal Healthcare Private Limited which is 51:49 joint venture between Boots Plc., UK and Nicholas Piramal.

  
The subsidiaries of subject are Nicholas Piramal  Laboratories and Diagnostics Private Limited, Nicholas Piramal - Dr. Phadke Pathology Laboratory and Infertility Center Private Limited, Nicholas Piramal -Dr. Golwilkar Laboratories Private Limited, Nicholas Piramal  Fininvest Private Limited, Nicholas Piramal  Pharma Inc., Piramal International and Nicholas Piramal  Life Science Limited.

During 2000-2001, the company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Nicholas Piramal  Fininvest acquired 40% equity stake in Rhone Poulenc India at a price of Rs. 875 per share. Nicholas Piramal  Fininvest made an open offer to public and acquired additional 20% stake in Rhone Poulenc at a price of Rs. 875 per share. Consequent to this, Rhone Poulenc became a subsidiary of Nicholas Piramal  Fininvest and hence a subsidiary of the company. The acquisition has made Subject the second largest Indian pharmaceutical company in terms of marketshare. Also, it has increased the presence in the domestic market. 

 
In an EGM held on 14.06.2001, the shareholders have approved the scheme of arrangement for the merger of Rhone Poulenc, Super Pharma - a distributor company acquired in April 2001 and certain assets and liabilities of Nicholas Piramal  Fininvest with the company.

Subject has transferred its investments in Gujarat Glass Private Limited and its subsidiaries w.e.f. 01.07.2004 into a new holding company Kojam Fininvest Limited (Kojam). The shares of Kojam were allotted free-of-cost to shareholders of subject in proportion to their ownership of subject and the allotment ratio was 1:4.

The plant also has ISO 14000 and 9001 certifications.

Further in July 2005 the company came out with a rights issue of equity shares for its shareholders in the ratio of 1:10. During 2004-05 the company has acquired the Inhalation Anaesthetics Business of Rhodia Organique fine Limited w.e.f. 11.01.2005 for a consideration of Rs.579.800 million. Further the company has discontinued Roche Diagnostics's distribution for a consideration of $22 Million.

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK:

 

The  domestic  pharmaceutical industry continued to witness  strong  growth momentum.  Led  by strong penetration into tier  II/III  cities,  increased number  of new product launches and increase in field-force  strength,  the market   grew  by  a  robust  17.7%  (ORG  IMS  MAT  March  2010).   Indian Pharmaceutical   market  has  become  increasingly  attractive  for   large multinational  pharmaceutical companies as they aggressively pursue  growth opportunities in the emerging markets.

 

The  demand in the pharmaceutical outsourcing market continued to be  soft. Due  to  reduction  in  inventory level  across  many  large  multinational pharmaceutical companies, the industry struggled to grow for most parts  of FY2010.  However, towards the end of the year, one could  see  a  definite recovery  in the business environment. The inventory de-stocking  phenomena is  coming to an end. The underlying rationale for outsourcing is now  more relevant  than  ever  before, hence over a medium term  they  see  attractive growth opportunities in this business.

Piramal Healthcare Limited to acquire assets of BioSyntech, a biotechnology company developing novel products in regenerative medicine

 

June 22, 2010

 

Mumbai, June 22, 2010: Piramal Healthcare Limited [NSE: PIRHEALTH, BSE: 500302] (“Piramal”), one of India’s largest pharmaceutical and healthcare companies announced signing of a definitive agreement to acquire BioSyntech’s assets for a consideration of C$ 3.9 million.


BioSyntech is a medical device Company specializing in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of advanced biotherapeutic thermogels for regenerative medicine (tissue repair) and therapeutic delivery. BioSyntech’s platform technology is a family of hydrogels called BST-Gel®, some of which are liquid at low temperature and solid at human body temperature. These gels can be injected or applied to a specific local site and offer beneficial properties for the local repair of damaged tissue such as cartilage, bone and chronic wounds and provide the benefit of avoiding invasive surgery. The Company’s lead, late-stage product, BST-CarGel® is currently undergoing an international pivotal trial.


Piramal had subscribed to common shares of BioSyntech in FY2006 which then constituted 17% of equity of BioSyntech. By virtue of this investment, Piramal had exclusive marketing rights for the marketing, sales and distribution of current and future products of BioSyntech, for India and some neighboring Asian markets.


BioSyntech has been unable to raise further capital to fund its ongoing operations and to repay maturing debt. As a result, BioSyntech sought court protection under insolvency proceedings. Taking into consideration PHL’s interests in the projects of BioSyntech, PHL made a binding offer and the Superior Court of Quebec (Canada) allowed the Interim Receiver to accept this offer.


Commenting on the transaction, Mr. Ajay Piramal, Chairman, Piramal Group said – “BST-Car Gel is a one stage application that can be performed arthroscopically and is the only potential substitute available for knee replacement surgery. This treatment also promises to be significantly less expensive than current alternatives.”
